Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Καὶ σύ, υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰ κρινεῖς τὴν πόλιν τῶν αἱμάτων; καὶ παράδειξον αὐτῇ πάσας τὰς ἀνομίας αὐτῆς,

καὶ ἐρεῖς Τάδε λέγει κύριος Κύριος Ὦ πόλις ἐκχέουσα αἵματα ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν καιρὸν αὐτῆς, καὶ ποιοῦσα ἐνθυμήματα καθʼ αὑτῆς τοῦ μιαίνειν αὐτήν.

ἐν τοῖς μασιν αὐτῶν οἷς ἐξέχεας παραπέπτωκας, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐνθυμήμασίν σου οἷς ἐποίεις ἐμιαίνου, καὶ ἤγγισας τὰς ἡμέρας σου, καὶ ἤγαγες καιρὸν ἐτῶν σου. διὰ τοῦτο δέδωκά σε εἰς ὄνειδος τοῖς ἔθνεσιν καὶ εἰς ἐμπαιγμὸν πάσαις ταῖς χώραις

ταῖς ἐγγιζούσαις πρὸς σέ καὶ ¹² ταῖς μακρὰν ἀπεχούσαις ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ ἐμπαίξονται ἐν σοί, ἀκάθαρτος ³ ἡ ὀνομαστὴ καὶ πολλὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀνομίαις.

ἰδοὺ οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι οἴκου Ἰσραήλ, ἕκαστος πρὸς τοὺς συγγενεῖς αὐτοῦ, συνεφύροντο ἐν σοὶ ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν αἵμα·

πατέρα καὶ μητέρα ἐκακολόγουν ἐν σοί, καὶ προσήλυτον ἀνεστρέφοντο ἐν ἀδικίαις ἐν σοί, ὀρφανὸν καὶ χήραν κατεδυνάστευον,

καὶ τὰ ἅγιά μου ἐξουδένουν καὶ τὰ σάββατά μου ἐβεβήλουν ἐν σοί

ἄνδρες λῃσταὶ ἐν σοί, ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν ἐν σοὶ αἷμα, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὀρέων ἤσθοσαν ἐν σοί, ἀνόσια ἐποίουν ἐν μέσῳ σου.

αἰσχύνην πατρὸς ἀπεκάλυψαν ἐν σοί, καὶ ἐν ἀκαθαρσίαις ἀποκαθημένην ἐταπείνουν ἐν σοί

ἕκαστος τὴν γυναῖκα τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ἠνομοῦσαν, καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν νύμφην αὐτοῦ ἐμίαινεν ἐν ἀσεβείᾳ, καὶ ἕκαστος τὴν ἀδελφὴν αὐτοῦ θυγατέρα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἐταπείνουν ἐν σοί.

δῶρα ἐλαμβάνοσαν ἐν σοί, ὅπως ἐκχέωσιν αἷμα, τόκον καὶ πλεονασμὸν ἐλαμβάνοσαν ἐν σοί καὶ συνετελέσω συντέλειαν κακίας σου τὴν ἐυ καταδυναστείᾳ, ἐμοῦ δῆ ἐπελάθου, λέγει Κύριος.

ἐὸυ δʼ ἐπάξω χεῖρά μου ἐφʼ οἷς συντετέλεσαι οἷς ἐποίησας, καὶ ἐπὶ τοῖς αἵμασίν σου τοῖς γεγενημένοις ἐν μέσῳ σου,

εἰ ὑποστήσεται ἡ καρδία σου; εἰ κρατήσουσιν αἱ χεῖρές σου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις αἷς ἐγὼ ποιῶ ἐν σοί; ἐγὼ Κύριος λελάληκα καὶ ποιήσω.

καὶ διασκορπιῶ σε ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, καὶ διασπερῶ σε ἐν ταῖς χώραις, καὶ ἐκλείψει ἡ ἀκαθαρσία σου ἐκ σοῦ,

καὶ κατακληρονομήσω ἐν σοὶ κατʼ ὀφθαλμοὺς τῶν ἐθνῶν, καὶ γνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος.

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, ἰδοὺ γεγόνασί μοι ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀναμεμιγμένοι πάντες χαλκῷ καὶ σιδήρῳ καὶ κασσιτέρῳ καὶ μολίβῳ, ἐν μέσῳ ἀργυρίου ἀναμεμιγμένος ἐστίν.

διὰ τοῦτο εἰπόν Τάδε λέγει ⁴⁶ Κύριος Ἀνθʼ ὧν ἐγένεσθε εἰς σύνκρασιν μίαν, διὰ τοῦτο ἐγὼ εἰσδέχομαι ὑμᾶς εἰς μέσον Ἰερουσαλήμ·

καθὼς εἰσδέχεται ἄργυρος καὶ χαλκὸς καὶ σίδηρος καὶ κασσίτερος καὶ μόλιβος εἰς μέσον καμίνου, τοῦ ἐκφυσῆσαι εἰς αὐτὸ πῦρ τοῦ χωνευθῆναι, οὕτως εἰσδέξομαι ἐν ὀργῇ μου καὶ συνάξω καὶ χωνεύσω ὑμᾶς,

καὶ ἐκφυσήσω ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς ἐν πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου, καὶ χωνευθήσεσθε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς.

ὃν τρόπον χωνεύεται ἀργύριον ἐν μἐσῳ καμίνου, οὕτως χωνευθήσεσθε ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐπιγνώσεσθε διότι ἐγὼ Κύριος ἐξέχεα τὸν θυμόν μου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς.

Καὶ ἐγένετο λόγος Κυρίου πρὸς μέ λέγων

Υἱὲ ἀνθρώπου, εἰπὸν αὐτῇ Σὺ εἶ γῆ ἡ οὐ βρεχομένη, οὐδὲ ὑετὸς ἐγένετο ἐπὶ σέ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς.

ἧς οἱ ἀφηγούμενοι ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὡς λέοντες ὠρυόμενοι ἁρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα, ψυχὰς κατεσθίοντες ἐν δυναστείᾳ καὶ τιμὰς λαμβάνοντες· καὶ αἱ χῆραί σου ἐπληθύνθησαν ἐν μέσῳ σου.

καὶ οἱ ἱερεῖς αὐτῆς ἠθέτησαν νόμον μου καὶ ἐβεβήλουν τὰ ἅγιά μου· ἀνὰ μέσον ἁγίου καὶ βεβήλου οὐ διέστελλον, καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον ἀκαθάρτου καὶ τοῦ καθαροῦ οὐ διέστελλον, καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν σαββάτων μου παρεκάλυπτον τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐβεβηλούμμην ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῶν.

οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῆς ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς ὡς λύκοι ἁρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα τοῦ ἐκχέαι αἶμα, ὅπως πλεονεξίᾳ πλεονεκτῶσιν.

καὶ οἱ προφῆται αὐτῆς ἀλείφοντες αὐτοὺς πεσοῦνται, ὁρῶντες μάταια, μαντευόμενοι ψευδῆ, λέγοντες Τάδε λέγει Κύριος, καὶ Κύριος οὐ λελάληκεν·

λαὸν τῆς γῆς ἐκπιεζοῦντες ἀδικίᾳ καὶ διαρπάζοντες ἁρπάγματα, πτωχὸν καὶ πένητα καταδυναστεύοντες, καὶ πρὸς τὸν προσήλυτον οὐκ ἀναστρεφόμενοι μετὰ κρίματος.

καὶ ⁷⁸ ἐζήτουν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρα ἀναστρεφόμενον ὀρθῶς καὶ ἑστῶτα πρὸ ⁹ προσώπου μου ὁλοσχερῶς ἐν καιρῷ τῆς γῆς τοῦ μὴ εἰς τέλος ἐξαλεῖψαι αὐτήν, καὶ οὐχ εὗρον.

καὶ ἐξέχεα ἐπ᾿ αὐτὴν θυμόν μου ἐν ¹⁰ πυρὶ ὀργῆς μου τοῦ συντελέσαι· τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς κεφαλὰς αὐτῶν δέδωκα, λέγει κύριος Κύριος.

Ezekiel Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 22 focus

Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

You, son of man, will you judge, will you judge the bloody city? then cause her to know all her abominations.

You shall say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and that makes idols against herself to defile her!

You have become guilty in your blood that you have shed, and are defiled in your idols which you have made; and you have caused your days to draw near, and are come even to your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.

Those who are near, and those who are far from you, shall mock you, you infamous one [and] full of tumult.

Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone according to his power, have been in you to shed blood.

In you have they set light by father and mother; in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the sojourner; in you have they wronged the fatherless and the widow.

You have despised my holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.

Slanderous men have been in you to shed blood; and in you they have eaten on the mountains: in the midst of you they have committed lewdness.

In you have they uncovered their fathers' nakedness; in you have they humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.

One has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law; and another in you has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.

In you have they taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the Lord Yahweh.

Behold, therefore, I have struck my hand at your dishonest gain which you have made, and at your blood which has been in the midst of you.

Can your heart endure, or can your hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken it, and will do it.

I will scatter you among the nations, and disperse you through the countries; and I will consume your filthiness out of you.

You shall be profaned in yourself, in the sight of the nations; and you shall know that I am Yahweh.

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me: all of them are brass and tin and iron and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh: Because you are all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.

As they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire on it, to melt it; so will I gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.

Yes, I will gather you, and blow on you with the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst of it.

As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst of it; and you shall know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my wrath on you.

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

Son of man, tell her, You are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained on in the day of indignation.

There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey: they have devoured souls; they take treasure and precious things; they have made her widows many in the midst of it.

Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

Her princes in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.

Her prophets have daubed for them with whitewash, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the Lord Yahweh, when Yahweh has not spoken.

The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery; yes, they have vexed the poor and needy, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.

I sought for a man among them, who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found none.

Therefore have I poured out my indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I brought on their heads, says the Lord Yahweh.
